Gondola shelving is arguably one of the most
widely used displays in retail today. This type of shelving is used to display
numerous different products and allows you to create aisles. It is designed to
show rows of product on both sides, as well as the ends. It can be outfitted to
display many different kinds of merchandise, from clothing to small trinkets.
Joslin Displays has precisely what you need to design your store exactly how
you want it.

Gondola
shelving consists of a rectangular piece of wood or metal that is covered in
holes. These holes can be outfitted with shelves, hooks, or other things to
display your merchandise.

The
first decision to make regarding gondola shelving is how you want them to be
placed on your store floor. Traditionally, you can use them to create aisles
within the store. You could also have them against the walls for an open
concept. Be careful with this, because then you are eliminating the possibility
of using both sides of the shelving!

Once
you decide how to arrange the vertical pieces, you must decide what you want to
use to display your product. You can install hooks to view items like clothing
or more substantial items that would look awkward on a shelf. Since the
vertical part of the rack has multiple holes, you can also decide exactly how
many shelves you want! We recommend not putting them too close together. Even
if you have smaller inventory to display, making the shelves too small can make
it hard to get products towards the back, and can make the display look
overcrowded. It’s also best to keep your products as close to eye level as
possible, so your customer can easily see everything you have to offer.

For
example, you could install hooks on the top part of the shelf to display the
item, and then have shelving underneath to store additional inventory of
whatever you choose to show. This way, customers can select the product without
disturbing the one on display.

And
there you have it! Gondola shelving is an easy way to customize your retail
displays to fit your needs. Call Joslin Displays at 800-325-1030 to discuss
